Non-Personal Technical Support Services for Post Deployment Software Support (PDSS)

The U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Project Manager for Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (PM CATT), Assistant Program Manager for Close Combat Tactical Trainer (APM CCTT) has a requirement for the award of a single Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide non-personal technical support services for Post Deployment Software Support (PDSS).

The CCTT is the first member of the CATT family of virtual simulators for collective training. It supports training of armor, mechanized infantry, cavalry units, and recon units from platoon through battalion/squadron echelon, including staff. The primary training audience operates from both full-crew simulators and mock-up or real command posts. Simulators have sufficient fidelity for individuals and crews to accomplish their collective missions. There are multiple projects under CCTT which include concurrency upgrades, convoy training, and a new Dismounted Soldier module. The PDSS for CCTT is responsible for providing all aspects of software support to CCTT and its subsystems in order to maintain its main mission of providing a virtual collective training capability.

The Contractor shall perform system and software engineering, life cycle software support, testing, quality assurance, configuration management, replication, distribution, installation, training, and publications support. The Contractor shall also provide trained labor, tools and test equipment, and materials to maintain and support the CCTT PDSS equipment (i.e. M1A2, M2A3, M2A2, FISTV, After Action Review (AAR) workstations, Semi-Automated Forces (SAF) workstations, Computer Generated Forces (CGF) computers, and others) for PDSS technical support services and other PM CATT contractor personnel performing work on the CCTT program or other Government contracts. This effort in the future may include the PDSS for the Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (AVCATT), Synthetic Environment Core (SE-Core) database production capabilities and other PM CATT programs that require PDSS activities.

Acquisition Approach:
The Government anticipates a single IDIQ contract 8(a) set aside with Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Cost Reimbursement, and Time and Materials (T&M) Task Orders for technical support services. The base period of performance (PoP) is one (1) year from contract award with four (4) one year option periods.
